What do you do if you still need a bad place’s reference?

I’m really disappointed in the situation I’m in right now. Essentially, I’m working three jobs, often pulling twelve hour days (not as bad as some of you, I know, but still not my favourite thing) and making not nearly as much as I want to be. Tonight, one of my jobs gave me hell over a pretty stupid problem. I declined work after my shift was over, and a couple people overheard, which I guess embarrassed my manager. The task would have only taken a few moments, but it shouldn’t matter. My shift was over. I am quitting regardless, but I’m considering waiting a week so that I can give an excuse as to why I won’t work there anymore other than “this is unlawful and you’re being a dick”. I need the reference, because I’m a teacher and this is a teaching gig. I’d love some help on this…

I’d love some help on this matter. I can add more details if you have questions. Thanks a lot.
